Tax avoider?

With all the hassle Cameron is getting I am starting to worry that I will get branded a "tax avoider".

I drink a lot of fruit juice. I am pretty sure it is off-shore juice as well, after all we don't grow many oranges or mangos in the UK do we. It has all the sugar of energy drinks but will have none of the "sugar tax". So by drinking juice, and not red bull, I'll be avoiding my fair share of tax.

What worries me more is that I don't drive or smoke - that is loads of tax I avoid.

Remember to also close your ISAs and any other tax-efficient savings accounts you might have. We all have an ethical obligation to donate as much money as possible to the government so they can fund the vital censorship and surveillance projects that keep us safe.

I actually *do* have such an obligation (and feel rather guilty merely keeping money in an ISA). But that's because the NHS spent millions keeping me alive, far more than I can ever repay in taxes... I guess it's my obligation to stay employed for as long as possible, and earn as much as possible, instead, and not evade income taxes etc :)
